Old System
I5-2500k 4.5ghz
ASRock P67
16GB DDR3 1600mhz
GTX 1080 FE
*EDIT*
New System
R7 3800x (4.5ghz 1.4v)
Corsair H115i RGB Platinum AIO
ASUS Strix ROG B450f Gaming
32GB DDR4 3600mhz
GTX 1080 FE
HP 27” 1440p 144hz GSYNC
So I finally got around to putting my new rig together and like everyone else I’m very happy with the upgrade. I play mainly Overwatch so I’m used to seeing numbers it produced. I play on Medium settings at 100% screen resolution to try and stay at or above the 144hz refresh rate. My GTX 1080 FE is overclocked to 2050mhz core. I left the memory alone. On the 2500k 4.5ghz the FPS fluctuates from 100-160. On the 3700x using PBO
I’m seeing 230-280 frames. This is incredible. The 3700x came with Borderlands 3 so I got something new to play with.
I’m using the stock cooler that came with the 3700x. It’s nice but damn it can be very loud at times . It’s pretty to look at tho lol. I’m gonna get an AIO for this eventually.
So for those who is still holding onto sandy bridge or older I would say it’s safe to upgrade to the new Ryzen 3000 series if you’re building new from the ground up.
*EDIT* Returned the 3700x and grabbed a 3800x which was on sale for $50 off. Also bought a Corsair H115i RGB Platinum AIO. Downloaded Ryzen Master. Manual OC to 4.5ghz with 1.4v. Stable so far. I’m gonna hopefully tune it to run under 1.4v.
